Perpetuity

I will recall tonight when in 30 years the actions begun tonight blowback in our faces. Maybe it will happen sooner. One lone weblogger reports from inside Iraq. All I keep thinking about is a bomb going off in the Red Line tunnels and flooding the entire city and instantly drowning hundreds of people. That or the Sears tower toppling to the ground.

I feel the common cop-out sentiment… I don’t support what our troops are doing, I just hope that they return home safely. That always seems to be such a safe distancing tactic and a way to not tell someone you don’t believe in what their sibling, spouse or child is off doing in our names. A way to not actually vocalize your opinion and to keep it compartmentalized and avoid the intersection of the political and the personal.
